the obama campaign is also pointing to some revised job numbers to make its case. the u.s. bureau of labor statistics said yesterday there were nearly 400,000 more jobs created in the previous year that ended in march. that would mean that there are a higher number of jobs than when president obama took office. but the u.s. still has four million fewer jobs since before the collapse of the financial sector. there's other sobering data as well, showing a still sluggish recovery. the commerce department revised its estimate of second-quarter economic growth down yesterday from 1.7%. mitt romney seized on the change in springfield, virginia. >> we are at 1.3%. this is... this is unacceptable. >> woodruff: other economic indicators also paint a mixed picture. the stock market itself, while down today, has been climbing in recent weeks to its highest levels in nearly five years. today, the dow jones industrial average lost almost 49 points after a weak manufacturing report and worries over europe to close just over 13,437. and the housing market may be stabilizing. a key index s

president obama has said he wants to prevent iran from getting nuclear weapons. but what does that mean in practice? and what the prime minister did today was say that for israel it's not the weapon that matters it is stopping them earlier than that. there's a point in the enrichment process that we have to stop them which injects clarity into the debate about the overall objective. >> woodruff: so you're saying there was something new there? >> i think it's very useful that he helped clarify the israeli view that the definition of prevention, of stopping a nuclear weapon does not mean just before you turn the screw on the final device. it has to be to be effective it has to mean earlier in the enrichment process. >> woodruff: why is that significant? you started out saying you didn't hear anything new but maybe that is? >> we've been hearing about red lines for quite some time from the prime minister and he hasn't specified exactly what it is. it's been clear to all that uranium ren itchment is the long poll in the tent. but i think he still left vague as to whe

obama also had a new warning on iran's nuclear program. yesterday iranian leader ahmadinejad repeated his claim that the program is only for peaceful purposes, an explanation the u.s. and other countries dismiss. today the president said again iran cannot be allowed to build nuclear weapons. >> let me be clear. america wants to resolve this issue through diplomacy. we believe that there is still time and space to do so. but that time is not unlimited. make no mistake, a nuclear-armed iran is not a challenge that can be contained. it would threaten the elimination of israel, the security of gulf nations, and the stability of the global economy. >> woodruff: turning to the civil war in syria, the president repeated his call for an end to the bloodshed and to the regime of bashar al assad. >> if there is a cause that cries out for protest in the world today, peaceful protest, it is the regime that tortures children and shoots rockets at apartment buildings. we must remain engaged to assure that what began with citizens demanding their rights
